[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chaosacolyte:
So I went to the Sprint store today, to see if I can get my mom's phone fixed. According to the technician, there is nothing they can do until Sprint pushes an update to fix this problem. :( The technician tried fixing a previous customers phone with the same problem, and came to this conclusion. He even said switching out the phone wont help because eventually the 4.3 update will push to that one and might glitch like this phone. I guess I will hold back on updating my dad's phone when he gets his OTA.

I have temporarily fixed the notification by turning off notifications for Sprint ID, so it wont keep on popping up, but I do not know if it will try to download in the background or not.

I heard Sprint was going to push an update to fix the Knox notification showing up when switching to wifi on the S4 and Note 3, and hope they might attach a fix to this in the update.

I just received a replacement phone that is having the same issue, and it's on 4.2.2 - has not received ota update notice. In addition, the CF Root Procedure which seems to work for most everyone is not rooting my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] RobPitt:
Firstly, Is it possible to sync the "ALL" list in the Play Store "My apps" section so that when I uninstall an app, it is removed from the "ALL" list?

Secondly, is it possible to yell android to install all of the apps in the "ALL" list? I've installed custom ROMs in the past that did this when you first install them, but I'm asking if you can do this on demand.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Ok this is just plain stupid which I have no excuse of (except I was tired). I was trying to reconfigure my Xperia Ray for my father and deleted some apps from the root system folder (GB2.3.4). I ended up deleted them all (/system/apps) and now it loops at the boot up screen. Since it won't boot properly, WotanClient doesn't work either so I can't reflash it. Boy what should I do other than trashing it. :crying:

[LG Optimus G (International)] leouzcategui:
maybe you can do a full wipe and clean install from recovery, also check the .zip file of the ROM, maybe is corrupt
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
1)Backup IMEI

2)Install CWM recovery for E975

3)Install CM Official for E975

4)Flash F180K/S/L radio

5)Restore IMEI

If still no network, edit the build.prop sim settings as RUIM, NV (Thats if u use RUIM instead of SIM)

Wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, system but still the same happens.. Why?? And what to do. I also have the latest version of recovery..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Setting.Out:
What recovery did you use?.. Have you tried reading the thread for answers? Did you know you are supposed to read the OP (original post) before flashing? KitKat requires CWM, the latest one or it will fail, as stated throughout the thread...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Mesh:
I'm kinda curious which programs you got installed on your Wizard.

I'd thought it would be nice to exchange our experiences here.

I'll go first

SBSH PocketBreeze v5

Adds alot of the functions of your phone directly on your Today screen, like your agenda, tasks, notes, messages and you can add other functions like pcoket msn, tomtom, etc aswell.

Works very well!

TranCreative Magic Button

A taskmanager which adds the ability to add programs you're running to your startbar, close single or all running programs and some other nice features.

Has a few problems with closing down active sync and call application.

ScaryBear Software Check Notifications

Cleans up duplicate entries in the database of your phone to increase performance.

Can't life without it

C. Ghrisler & Co. Total Commander

Alternative file explorer which supports registery editing and much more!

Good alternative to the build in file explorer

TCPMP The Core Pocket Media Player

Mediaplayer which support almost every type of media file there is, runs very smoothly and very stable.

Can't life without it

TomTom Navigator 5

Navigation software for PDA, but works well on your Wizard. Support traffice, weather and much more (extra services).

A pain to get it installed on your Wizard, but when it works you don't want anything else. Running v5.21 now.

Worms PPC

Do I need to say more... :P

Still looking for a better taskmanager and a snes emulator optimized for the Wizard.

...

So, what are you using?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
Have you tried SmallMenu? Works great on the Universal, should work fine on the Wizard.

It's a task manager and launcher in one. Commercial or free versions available. Wish I'd written it!

So I have been trying to theme the Kik Messenger app. I have gotten pretty far but I'm having some issues that have me stumped. I'll post screenshots to explain.

First Image:

For some reason the settings screen is a big giant mess.

1). What happened to the rest of this bar? I also want to change that entire bar to the color code 2e2e2e but I cannot find it for the life of me.

2 and 3). These white bits should not be here since I have changed every instance of android:background to black, Help please?

Second Image:

1). Once again, I want to change this topbar color but I cannot find it anywhere in the .xmls or in the drawable folders.

2). This is a big one. The only reason that this bottom bar is grey and not black is because when I make it black, I cannot see what I am typing because the text is also black. I cannot find where to change the input text color anywhere in any of the decompiled apk.

I really need someone who is good with themes to reach a hand out. I wanted to take this on myself but these last touches are driving me crazy since I am a perfectionist. Thanks for any help!

Hello Defy Mini Users, I'm going to write a tutorial on how to fix a burnt NAND.

My overclock became unstable and I had bad blocks everywhere so I decided to recover my NAND. [MENTION=4649424]cute_prince[/MENTION] method fixed by phone.

[MENTION=5013979]MauroSZ[/MENTION] [MENTION=5101064]Bernd.Defy[/MENTION] [MENTION=5223897]wilberfish[/MENTION] [MENTION=5117212]conrad0[/MENTION]

Thanks to cute_prince tutorial for HTC Explorer NAND recovery. I have just adapted to Defy Mini XT320/XT321.

Now in cmd type in these commands:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp.img

adb shell mount -a

adb push flash_erase /system/xbin

adb shell cd /system/xbin

adb shell chmod 755 flash_erase

adb shell ./flash_erase -N /dev/mtd/mtd9 0 0

adb shell ./flash_erase -N /dev/mtd/mtd11 0 0

adb shell ./flash_erase -N /dev/mtd/mtd12 0 0

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

Now flash back your SBF via RSD-Lite.
[Defy General] wilberfish:
on this step "adb shell chmod 755 flash_erase"

I get chmod: flash_erase: no such file or directory.

What am i missing?
[Defy General] MauroSZ:
[MENTION=4880538]rootdefyxt320[/MENTION], Theoretical question:

Any idea what happens recovering nandroid instead flashing a SBF via RSD Lite ? :confused:
[Defy General] rootdefyxt320:
You restore a nandroid backup that has a corrupted NAND, which is what you don't want. Flashing an SBF doesn't give a corrupted NAND as it is fresh. But you must flash_erase before you flash an SBF otherwise you will still have a burnt NAND.
[Defy General] rootdefyxt320:
Did you push flash_erase to /system/xbin? This fixes the missing file issue. Otherwise you can mount /system manually in TWRP.
[Defy General] wilberfish:
Yes, fixed it. Silly mistake.

Thanks it works brilliantly.
[Defy General] rootdefyxt320:
So your NAND is fixed now?
[Defy General] MauroSZ:
Is correct supposing the android automatically avoids bad blocks using others normal blocks instead ? Is journaling correlated ? If true, does make sense flash a sbf first and restore a nandroid just after getting fastboot ? Or do you recommend anorher backup way like titanium ? Or maybe a mixed way using a old nandroid made when the nand was not burnt and Titanium just after to make the device state more recent ?

Is there a easy and quick test to know if the nand is burnt ?

[Defy General] wilberfish:
Yes seems so. Didn't have time to check but after clean install and updates back to 73mb free :D

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

adb shell dmesg will give you a report, scroll down and you will see if you have bad blocks.

Yes it avoids bad blocks automatically. As for backup I have no idea, sorry.
[Defy General] rootdefyxt320:
The problem with nandroid backups is when you back it up. I backup my phone before overclocking so I can restore my NANDROID backup. You can restore your nandroid if you backup before overclocking. Don't restore your NANDROID if you backed it up after overclocking. Basically YAFFS2 filesystem uses 'blocks' to store the data. It won't write to the 'bad blocks' so you lose storage. Basically a YAFFS2 NANDROID backup also backups the bad blocks which is what you don't want. You can read more about YAFFS Filesystem here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAFFS
[Defy General] MauroSZ:
[MENTION=4880538]rootdefyxt320[/MENTION] thanks for the link, but if i backup just after a minute i overclocked, i am supposed it will not sufficient time to burn the nand, right ? And i can avoid all a process to overclock again if i have to recovery my nand.

It seems the CWM backup creates a continuous nand image containing good and bad blocks. The android skips bad blocks writing data. Then i'm supposed backup apps as Titanium do a good job in this case because (i am also supposed) they don't work with image.

[Defy General] rootdefyxt320:
Yeah, it won't have that much effect. The effect happens after a couple of weeks of overclocking.

After adb push flash_erase /system/xbin the commands should use full path, mine didn't work with CD.

Also shell commands didn't work first time, maybe because touched some buttons on TWRP screen.

adb shell mount -a

adb push flash_erase /system/xbin

adb shell cd /system/xbin

adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/flash_erase

adb shell /system/xbin/flash_erase -N /dev/mtd/mtd12 0 0

adb reboot bootloader

So I'm on 4.4 KitKat with the Google Experience Launcher and can't activate Google Now. I'm using PA Gapps 4.4. I can't use Titanium backup to uninstall it because I'm on ART. So I don't know what to do...

I tried changing languages but that didn't work. I tried setting a reminder so it gives me the option, but still it just crashes back to the homescreen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Do you have the latest Google Search installed? Download it from the Play Store.

ART is still very experimental. It may cause a lot of bugs. Try switching to Dalvik. Does the problem persist?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaidmalta:
Yes the problem persists. I had this problem on 4.3 PA GAPPS too. I switched back to dalvik to use Titanium to uninstall it and then re-install it but that still didn't work. What I usually do is, uninstall updates, activate Gnow and then install the latest version, however I cannot uninstall updates....I need to find a way to get the stock Gnow version.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
If you're using the Google launcher you have the latest version, Google Now is the launcher itself. It should be enabled as long as you have the GmsCore, downloaded your offline speech recognition package, and logged into your PlayStore account.

If you are using ART, you need to make sure to use the odexed gapps package for it to be compatible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaidmalta:
It was working when I was using GEL on 4.3. As soon as I flashed GAPPs 4.4 and PA 4.4 I had no way of enabling it. ART or dalvik doesn't have anything to do with it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jon.s.nelson:
(I thought I'd report the following issue, in case someone else had experienced it or if someone understands why)

On non-stock ROMs, the sound from ANY application (phone, music player, etc...) comes out heavily distorted through the audio jack but NOT through the phone's speaker. This has been verified on CM10.1.3 STABLE and various 4.3 ROMS.

I used to not have this problem and I've been running CM10.1 based ROMs and more recently various 4.3 ROMS without this problem for many months. Recently the problem started so I tried completely wiping, reformating of SD card, and re-installations of ROMs to no avail. Took it to a technician who replaced the whole jack-unit but it didn't help. So...I ODINed back to stock 4.1 and problem was fixed! However, any time I install a non-stock ROM, the problem returns, and only re-ODINing back to a stock ROM fixes it. I've tried 4 or so times....

I've been able to flash Custom 4.3

STOCK-BASED

ROMS (based on leaks) without any issue as well, so it's not an issue with flasing "custom ROMs" perse, or with Android 4.3...(thank God! at least I can flash Touchwiz 4.3!)

Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Do the roms have a volume or sound enhancement mod do you think? If you flash an older one that used to work fine, does it also exhibit the same problem? If not, maybe try using the audio files from the old Rom in the new one? Probably won't help, but you never know...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jon.s.nelson:
As far as I know, there were no audio/volume enhancements in the ROMs I tried (CM 10.1.3 and Carbon ROM) only the usual DSP audio app (which I made sure wasn't running). Yeah, those exact ROMs totally worked in the past without a problem, and it wasn't just my sound files that sounded distorted out of the jack it was any sound from any app (system sounds, phone, etc...)

I might try again with a non-stock ROM if/when Android 4.4 becomes stable, otherwise for the time being I'm happy to stick with TW 4.3 (thanks to you!) It's really awesome!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Can't argue with you there! On a new build now and will get it released when I get my computer back from my daughter! So watch out for that in just a bit!

And in case you didnt see it, there is a 4.4 Rom posted. Looks like it was just updated with more functionality too. You should take a look if you haven't yet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jon.s.nelson:
I tried the 4.4 and unfortunately I the same audio distortion problem returned right away. This was coming from being on the TW 4.3 Leak (#2) from over a week straight with the problem. I researched how to lower the audio jack levels in Cyanogen ROMs and found out about this file: "snd_soc_msm_2x" in the system folder

I messed with that file a bit (with a text editor) and managed to get the distortion to go away by lowering ALL of the headphone outputs by 20%. Problem is that then the volume was really too low to enjoy music on. I tried only 10% lower but then the distortion came back. After that I gave up, but convinced that there's something in the deep CM audio settings which my phone no longer likes, Weird.

BTW, I was able to Nandroid back to my TW 4.3 and the problem disappeared. So at least, there's no need to ODIN if I ever want to try again. ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] omitav:
I've been having a helluva time with the new (internal) batteries available in the market ever since the original Furukawa battery died - the new batteries dont seem to be able to hold charge as well as the original one.

I was wondering whether it would make sense to connect two original nokia batteries (the bl5 looks thin enough) in parallel and connect them to the XDA using the same circuit board that's attached to the furukawa.

(If this works, the battery would maybe even provide more power than the original one!)

Anyone know if this would work?

The nokia battries are about 800mAH each, so if I connect them in parallel, would that raise the rating to 1600mAH?

Cheers

Omi
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] alexella:
delayed answer but.. still...

Having an OLD battery on my thing... I'm also considering a "home made battery". Yes, it can be done.... I see no major problems. But remember that a battery = battery + protection circuit. If you put them in paralel, I guess it would be a better idea to strip the two nokia batteries from the protection circuit and use only the ORIGINAL one....

But this is still theory, I didn't tried it yet. But, I'm considering.

The best solution would be in finding a BIG flat battery, not connecting two in paralel.....

bye
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] eabeukes:
If the batteries have the same voltage, and you still have your old one, you could open up all 3 and replace the cells from the nokia with the old cells. The use some shrinkwrap or tape to cever the old on up and plug it back in. As long as the voltages are the same (and they should be if you swap just the cells) then yes you'll have a much higher capacity battery to play with.
